Into the Storm of Chaos

the new adventurers face a moral challenge on the road.

As they travelled forward on the road to Tempelhof, they met up with a corpse cart driver. Gelt was his name, and he carried bodies of Stirland Knights, as well as his bodyguards who had been slain by Beastmen. He offered to pay the group to take him as far as Tempelhof, where he could reach the road that went into Sylvania. He needed the protection. He feared the bandits and grave robbers that killed his bodyguards were hot on his heels and that he needed extra protection.

The grave robbers were the least of their troubles. On the way, they were accosted by Beastmen, surviving, but wounded severely in the process.

Later the next day in the evening, they came upon the “bandits”. A Witch Hunter with a Bright Wizard bodyguard, along with a few men at arms, demanded Gelt to be handed over to them. They did not produce identification.

Gelt persuaded the group that they were kidnappers and bandits. A fight ensued, and the truth was only discovered after the men at arms had retreated and the Bright Wizard and Witch Hunter lay dead.

A group of characters try desperate actions to repel a Beastmen attack.

The small town of Leicheberg was in flames. Scores of marauding Beastmen poured into the town, sacking, pillaging and burning their way. A small group of individuals, who lived in the town or passing through, helped in repelling the Beastmen.

The next day, after searching through the rubble and refuse, the Messenger, The Initiate, the Doctor, and the Temple Guardian headed out, looking for a safer place to be. The travelled the road west towards the small village of Tempelhof, on the border of Sylvania.
